"He came on time and it seemed as if the work I needed was important to get to quickly. He also did the work the way it was best required. I had talked to others previously who wanted to exaggerate the project's time and needed work. He didn't. He knew just what had to be done and did it proficiently. They did a good job,"

"Some ornamental bushes in my front yard were damaged when they dropped the heavy branches on them. The long branches were left without cutting in half, so they were hard to move. They had to call in a 3rd party to finish the work in the back as the 1st tree trimmer did not have proper equipment. They came to do the work in time manor."

"We had Jordan and his crew replace our roof this summer. Communication was very good throughout the job, very impressed with the work the crew and him did. We also had our front door replaced this winter. Again, top notch work as I’ve come to expect. I would highly recommend Jordan and his crew at Heyer Grounds."

"The team was prompt and very detailed, was able to pivot and suggest little changes that improved the overall look. They reconstructed a soffit and several bathroom and bedroom walls to enhance the appearance. I asked for non textured ceilings and they are flawless. Great communication throughout the job…I will rehire again in the future!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
